You know you're in college when you sell your blood to pay for your Valentine's Day date...
That being said, I'm in college.
Speaking of college, I graduate in 14 months... that's a scary thought. In 14 months, I face a major crossroad in life. Fortunately, there are some doors opening up for me. Keegan (my former youth pastor and future internship supervisor) outlined his vision for my internship next year which leaves the door open for a full time staff position almost immediately after I graduate. Of course there's no guarantee with something visionary like that, but it offers some hope that after I graduate, my cardboard-box house will have two bedrooms instead of one.
There's also a ministry in Chicago that's been on my heart for about 2 1/2 years now. The ministry is called Emmaus, and they are a street ministry that exists to reach out the male prostitutes of Chicago who are ostracized even by the mainstream homeless community. They offer one-year full-time internships which provide room and board while living in an intentional Christ-centered community with the other interns. I can't think of a ministry that has been laying on my heart as much as this one while being as radically removed from my comfort zone as possible.

Take my life, and let it be consecrated, Lord, to Thee.
Take my moments and my days; let them flow in ceaseless praise.
Take my hands, and let them move at the impulse of Thy love.
Take my feet, and let them be swift and beautiful for Thee.
Take my voice, and let me sing always, only, for my King.
Take my lips, and let them be filled with messages from Thee.
Take my silver and my gold; not a mite would I withhold.
Take my intellect, and use every power as You choose.
Take my will, and make it Thine; it shall be no longer mine.
Take my heart, it is Thine own; it shall be Thy royal throne.
Take my love, my Lord, I pour at Thy feet its treasure store.
Take myself, and I will be ever, only, all for Thee.
